Add Named Ranges And Apply Formula in Google Sheets

Named ranges are a feature in Google Sheets that allow you to assign a descriptive name to a cell or range of cells. Named ranges make it easier to reference cells in formulas, and can make your formulas more readable and maintainable.

Here's how to add a named range and apply a formula in Google Sheets:

1. Select the cell or range of cells that you want to assign a name to.
2. Go to "Formulas" > "Define named range".
3. In the "Define named range" dialog box, enter a descriptive name for the range, such as "SalesData".
4. Click "OK" to create the named range.
5. To use the named range in a formula, simply type the name of the range in a formula, preceded by an equal sign (=). For example, to sum the values in the "SalesData" range, you could use the formula =SUM(SalesData).

By using named ranges, you can make your formulas more readable and maintainable, and simplify the process of referencing cells in your formulas. This can make it easier to work with large and complex spreadsheets, and help you to keep your formulas organized and understandable.
